Not to mention that the film practically opens with the Bugs destroying Buenos Aires

There is a reason why almost all the "its a brilliant work of satire and everyone is too Fascist to get it" folks have to invent the headcanon of "the asteroid was a false flag" theory.

Despite there being zero anything whatsoever even suggesting or helping that theory. Only "bugs too dumb to throw rock that good, must be humans lying."

The movie fails on everything it tries to do so hard it doubles back into being the opposite.
